Great Rockabilly: Just About as Good as It Gets!, Vol.4 $19.99 Essentially, this series by the Netherlands’ Smith & Co. imprint is all classic rockabilly by its biggest names, compiled in seemingly random order — though with great gusto when it comes to licensing material across labels and corporations. The music here is great. There isn’t a weak track in the 70 included on these two discs. That said, there isn’t anything hardcore fans of the music don’t already have many times over. The price of this set is attractive no matter where you are in the world. The recommendation is for newcomers: if you’ve just walked inside the rockabilly door and have begun delving into this wild American music form, this set and the three volumes that precede it cannot be beaten for decent sound, great song selection, and legendary performances. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi |

Train Songs 200 Great Songs About Railroad Heroes: Train Songs 200 Great Songs About Railroad Heroes $22.94 Today the American highways are populated by truckers but before the trucks arrived on the scene, goods were transported by railroad – leading to countless stories, anecdotes and legends that have found their way into the music of the country & western, rhythm & blues and rock & roll scenes and eventually into pop music. There were stories about specific trains, the heroic deeds of railroaders – and the hobos, those fare-dodging tramps who travelled the length and breadth of the country and who were brutally combated by the railroaders and their bosses. These stories have been compiled on this 10 CD box set – many performed by well-known stars while other tracks are true rarities. An absolute “must have” for fans of the great music of the 1950s. |

About Love $10.38 The Plastiscines’ first album, 2007′s LP1, had a decent amount of energy and a few good songs, but the French quartet was so in thrall to the sound of the Strokes that the album came off as an inferior carbon copy. On their second album, 2009′s About Love, the group still employs many of the elements of the Strokes N.Y.C. new wave revival sound (something they will likely always have), but they’ve opened it up and added some new approaches and sounds that make the album much more varied and more appealing. The songs that aim for the dancefloor (the super hooky “Barcelona,” “Time to Leave,” “Pas Avec Toi”) by loosening the bass and drums and adding disco ball glitter to the choruses work the best and linger in your memory the longest. The quieter songs are also a nice, new feature this time out, the acoustic guitar-led “I Am Down” and the blues-based “Coney Island” give the record some depth that their debut lacked. The songs sung in French sound the best, as the girls sound great shouting the choruses on “Camera” and “Pas Avec Toi.” They sound very confident and natural when using their native language, unlike on some of the songs in English where they sound somewhat tentative and contrived. Case in point: the embarrassing “Bitch,” which attempts to take control of the word “bitch” but ends up sounding forced and silly. The songs that fall in line with their Strokes fixation (and there are still too many on About Love) also sound forced, but not silly. They just show that the band still has some growing to do. The record is a promising step in the direction of the Plastiscines finding their own sound. If they can manage it someday, they might do something worth hearing from beginning to end. Even though About Love has some high points, overall it’s simply too spotty and under-cooked to be truly successful. ~ Tim Sendra, Rovi Performers: Anais Vandevyvere – Drums; Katty Besnard – Guitar, Vocals; Louise Basilien – Bass; Marine Neuilly – Guitar |

About Time $12.78 Pianist and composer Paul Bley has been making records now for more than 50 years. His solo recordings encompass a great deal of his generous catalog. Bley has studied so many different aspects of jazz, and improvisational music both American and European, that these recordings always offer a revealing, no-holds-barred glimpse of where he’s at as a musician at any given time. About Time, released on the Montreal label Justin Time, contains just two pieces: the 33-plus-minute title track and the Sonny Rollins tune “Pent-Up House,” which lasts another ten. They reveal the entire range of Bley’s considerable gifts as a pianist and improviser. Indeed, “About Time” literally runs the gamut of Bley’s interests throughout his entire career: there is the now trademark pointillism, and improvisation that seeks elongated microtones, but that is just the beginning. The subtle expressionism he brought to listeners on his monumental ECM recording Open, to Love in 1972 is abundant here; however, this is not an introspective look at one subject but at the rainbow of musical and even philosophic ideas that jazz is able to put forth inside an improvised work. Blues, ragtime, the gorgeous and mysterious tonal investigations of Darius Milhaud and Erik Satie, and explorations of the jazz history book on his chosen instrument — the ghosts of Jelly Roll Morton, Teddy Wilson, Bud Powell, Ray Bryant, Mal Waldron, Andrew Hill, and Randy Weston — all leave their mark here. But Bley pulls this enormous monolith off not by merely jamming things together, but warmly and humorously incorporating his own sonic personality into each of his tropes and ideas, so that the artist shines through directly, and yes, even humbly. “Pent-Up House” comes out of the gate in the upper register of the piano, weaving blues, bop, and Rollins’ sense of humor — his work from those early days revealed a deep love of show tune harmonics and melodies. Bley moves the piece into an improvisation on the theme that is tender and poetic, and flirts with melancholy but never gets there as his left hand walks the blues in a counter-rhythm with melodic investigation to his right, which is already off riffing on the original theme and creating a spellbinding space for the listener. As he returns again to the theme, extrapolating modes and moods, he makes Rollins’ hard bopper something else: a sprightly improvisation that reveals all the complexities and nuances of the composer, not just the pianist. About Time is a truly worthy and elegant statement from one of the true greats in the jazz piano lineage, and these intermittently released solo offerings of his are always worth the investment of time and money, because they open up visible but usually unnoticeable sound worlds to those who will open their ears and listen. Further, his work is never that of an artist who has arrived somewhere and remains on his plateau — Paul Bley is always reaching for higher ground. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi |

It’s About Time $19.18 Bobbi Wilsyn often performs with William Russo and the Chicago Jazz Ensemble, but here she steps out front with a small group, turning in a classy set of standards and originals. She and co-producer/arranger/pianist Miguel de la Cerna seem to have a thing for ’60s classic rock, as disarmingly jazzy renditions of the Moody Blues’ “Tuesday Afternoon” and the Lovin’ Spoonful’s “Summer in the City” find their way into the program. But mostly Wilsyn addresses great songbook items: “A Time for Love” (achingly slow), “Here’s That Rainy Day” (a duet with guitarist Frank Dawson), “Estate (Summer),” “I Didn’t Know What Time It Was,” and “‘Tis Autumn.” Wilsyn’s originals are a mixed bag: “Saturday” is little more than a rhyming exercise, while “Spend Some Time With You” is a pop-jazz departure that doesn’t jive with the rest of the program. The opening title track, co-written by Wilsyn and Gloria Morgan, is much more fulfilling, as is the closing “Take Your Time,” co-written with Thomas Gunther and performed as a piano/voice duet. Wilsyn has chosen sterling players in de la Cerna, saxophonist Pat Mallinger, bassist Jim Cox, and drummer Frank Parker. Her voice is elegant and flexible, sounding angelic on the ballads but taking on quite a bit of edge when the tempos pick up. ~ David R. Adler, Rovi |

Think About It $13.58 If the sepia-toned photos of the guitarist aren’t enough indication that this album is a throwback to his jump blues roots, the “no Stratocasters were used in the making of this recording,” liner note should settle it. An experienced musician with an impressive résumé supporting blues acts such as William Clarke, Rod Piazza & the Mighty Flyers, and Tad Robinson (who contributes vocals to three tracks here), Alex Schultz doesn’t use his first solo album as a showcase for his impressive guitar skills. In fact, after recording the bulk of the tracks in 2001, he returned to the studio in 2003 to add three more instrumentals — the only originals on the album — that feature his clean yet tough guitar solos. The result is a well-rounded, horn-dominated project that recalls the great jump blues of the ’40s and ’50s, but retains enough contemporary sheen not to seem dated. Schultz’s snappy lead lines and sure sense of style guide these 13 tracks. Veterans Finis Tasby, Lynwood Slim, and Robinson provide vocals on ten tunes, and all are in stunning form. The various singers mesh with the instrumentals to provide a diverse but focused album that never lags. Schultz digs into his influences to cover songs from Charlie Rich, Jimmy McCracklin, and Eddie “Guitar Slim” Jones, among others, all of which are delivered with style, sophistication, and a genuine respect for the genre. The closing Finis Tasby tune shifts into swampy territory with just standup bass and brushed drums as accompaniment. There isn’t a false note on the disc as it swings with finger-popping, toe-tapping energy that will impress even the most dedicated lover of classic jump blues. ~ Hal Horowitz, Rovi Performers: Alberto Marsico – Hammond B3, Organ (Hammond); Tad Robinson – Vocals (Background), Tambourine, Vocals; Alex Schultz – Guitar; Bill Stuve – Bass; Carl Leyland – Piano; Daniel Glass – Drums; Finis Tasby – Vocals; Gio Rossi – Drums; Jim Jedeiken – Sax (Baritone), Sax (Alto); |

All About the Benjamins [Clean] $10.38 Upon an initial glance, the track listing for the All About the Benjamins soundtrack isn’t too impressive. There aren’t many big names here, and the big names who are here offer previously released songs: B.G.’s “Bling Bling,” the O’Jays’ “For the Love of Money,” and Puff Daddy’s “It’s All About the Benjamins.” Furthermore, considering that Ice Cube stars in this film, you’d think he’d contribute a song, but there isn’t even a previously released song by him here. However, if you give this soundtrack a listen, you’ll discover that there are actually quite a few quality songs. First of all, the aforementioned previously released songs are undeniably great and certainly fit the film’s theme. Furthermore, the Puff Daddy track appears here in a remixed version featuring a new verse by the Notorious B.I.G. and a few other new — and surprisingly welcome — modifications. Second of all, the soundtrack’s leadoff track, Trina’s “Told Y’All,” very well may be the album’s highlight, one of the best tracks to come out of the Florida-based Trick Daddy/Trina camp, on a par with “Da Baddest Bitch,” “Nann Nigga,” and “Take It to da House.” Other songs by Petey Pablo and Mystic are also worth checking out.

The Great Unwanted $37.59 Pitched somewhere in between the Pipettes' campy, winking co-optation of 1960s girl group pop and soul and Camera Obscura's more understated, less mannered evocation of same, Greenwich sextet Lucky Soul's debut album represents an exemplary model for retro revivalism in the context of modern indie pop. It hardly shies away from its readily apparent stylistic touchstones -- the timeless, immaculate popcraft of Phil Spector and Motown; the Anglified sophistication of Dusty Springfield and Sandie Shaw -- but neither is it slavishly imitative. Crucially, the style never overwhelms the substance, which is to say that as extravagant as the lush, period-appropriate orchestrations get -- and they're pretty extravagant, with all the horns, handclaps, strings, and auxiliary percussion (bongos, tambourines, cowbells, castanets) one could hope for -- it's all in the service of some top-notch songwriting. These are expertly crafted, emotionally vivid, and frequently witty slices of classicist pop that would probably sound great in just about any setting, especially given Ali Howard's sweet but surprisingly potent vocals. Of course, the stylistic trappings do contribute a considerable amount of the fun, and when they're in full effect the album simply sparkles, especially on sunny, upbeat numbers like the giddy, horn-fueled opener "Add Your Light to Mine, Baby," incendiary Northern soul stomper "Get Outta Town!," and the monstrously infectious "Lips Are Unhappy," whose impeccable guitar tone is nearly as irresistible as its "shake, shimmy shimmy, shake shake" breakdown. As great as these songs are, the band is, if anything, even more compelling on its more subdued material: the gospel-inflected slow burn of "The Towering Inferno," the unabashed romanticism of "My Darling, Anything," and the wispy closing trio of lullabies (including a hidden bonus track about drifting to sleep). Best of all is the aching, desperate ballad "Baby I'm Broke," whose opening minute is among the album's sparsest, with nothing but lavishly reverbed guitar arpeggios underpinning Howard's poignant vocal. As is the way of things on this album, the song is soon fleshed out with drums, multiple layers of organ, and distant, ghostly background vocals, but none of that detracts from its stark, profoundly heartfelt pathos. And that's why, despite its blatantly stylized veneer, The Great Unwanted ultimately belongs closer to the more artfully nuanced, Camera Obscura end of the (admittedly concise) retro-pop spectrum. Like the musically more adventurous but similarly '60s-indebted Saint Etienne, but unlike the comparably styled and equally vivacious Pipettes (for whom they opened on their first gig), Lucky Soul transcend mere novelty or nostalgic homage, truly inhabiting the human heart of the perennially vital pop tradition. ~ K. Ross Hoffman, Rovi |

Great Civilizations $13.57 Former Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlain's alt rock ensemble Skysaw delivers an ambitious and sturdy psych- and prog rock-inflected debut with 2011's Great Civilizations. Besides Chamberlain's frenetic, commanding percussion, the album also features vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Mike Reina and guitarist Anthony Pirog, who more than hold their own here. In fact, with Reina writing all the lyrics and fronting the band with his yearning, literate vocals, Skysaw is as much about his own Baroque pop, melodic rock leanings as anything else. While there are a few common touchstones between Skysaw and the Pumpkins -- especially a love of '70s hard rock -- the truth is that nobody would ever need to compare the two bands. Where Smashing Pumpkins were more inclined toward fuzzed-out guitar bombast and arch, post-goth modern rock hits, Skysaw create sparkling pop landscapes that are more ELO and Todd Rundgren than Led Zeppelin or Bauhaus. Produced by legendary rock producer Roy Thomas Baker, Great Civilizations has a sparkling, expansive quality befitting the '70s-inlfuenced melodic rock and prog that Skysaw are clearly enamored of. Tracks like the "Capsized Jacknife Crisis" and the atmospheric "Am I Second" are generously melodic, uplifting rock anthems with little Moog and Mellotron bits, and Pirog's pristinely executed rock guitar solos that bring to mind Queen's Brian May. Similarly, the title track is a dance-rock-inflected anthem that works to contemporize the album nicely, placing it somewhere between the post-punk revival of the Editors and the ambitious singer/songwriter rock of Ed Harcourt. Ultimately, Skysaw's Great Civilizations registers less as a vanity project and more as a the work of a band of like-minded musicians with Chamberlain's propulsive whirl of rhythm set against memorable and sweeping pop epics. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi Performers: Chamberlin - Roto Toms, Triangle, Shaker, Hand Drums, Tambourine, Drums |

Great Gatsby $19.52 When F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote THE GREAT GATSBY in the early 1920s, the American Dream was already on the skids. Originally based on the idea that the pursuit of happiness involves not only material success but moral and spiritual growth, the dream had by Fitzgerald's time become increasingly focused on money and pleasure--a phenomenon the high-living writer was only too familiar with. In THE GREAT GATSBY, Fitzgerald looks deeply into himself and his milieu to create the story of James Gatz, a self-educated nobody from North Dakota who has amassed a fortune and adopted the persona of Jay Gatsby, an Oxford-educated man about town, for the sole purpose of winning back the heart of Daisy, the woman he loved in his youth. Daisy is now married to Tom Buchanan--a brutal, ignorant racist who embodies the corruption that can come with unlimited wealth. As Gatsby, Daisy, and Tom--and the narrator, Daisy's cousin Nick Carroway, who serves as the author's spokesman--play out the drama in a small Long Island town (the East Hampton of its day), Fitzgerald makes it increasingly clear that life is meaningless when it is based on money and glamour at the expense of the solid American values of self-reliance and hard work--and Gatsby's sad end underscores the point. THE GREAT GATSBY has long been celebrated as the archetypal American novel, and, just as Fitzgerald's book grew out of the tradition that included Henry James and Edith Wharton, its influence on later writers from J. D. Salinger to John O'Hara cannot be overestimated. The book remains vividly alive and widely read years after its writing. |

The Great Destroyer $11.18 Over the years, Low have been on labels as diverse as Kranky and Virgin offshoot Vernon Yard, worked with distinctive producers like Kramer and Steve Albini, and have managed to adapt their sound without losing any of their identity. All of this applies to Great Destroyer, the band's first album for Sub Pop and their first collaboration with producer Dave Fridmann. Fridmann's detailed sound is a far cry from either Kramer or Albini's minimalist tendencies, but his work here shows that Low can sound as good in elaborate settings as they do in simple ones: "Monkey"'s intricate layers of distorted drums, organ, and guitar have an unusual depth, and the synth strings and heartbeat-like electronic drums on "Cue the Strings" just add to the intimacy and subtlety of Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker's harmonies. Ironically enough, Great Destroyer is by far Low's most polished and accessible-sounding album, even more so than their quasi major-label output. That may turn off purists yearning for I Could Live in Hope's simplicity, but aside from the bigger sound, there's something for almost every kind of Low fan on the album: chilly, brooding songs ("Pissing," "Everybody's Song"), gentle but powerful songs ("On the Edge Of," "Silver Rider") and gorgeous epics ("Broadway (So Many People)"). The group's touted rock direction offers some of Great Destroyer's strongest, and weakest, moments. "California"'s soaring warmth has odd but appealing early- to mid-'90s alt pop sheen to it, sounding a bit like Girlfriend-era Matthew Sweet played at half speed. However, "Just Stand Back" and "Step" are somewhat clunky and contrived, with the production overwhelming the songs. The tracks about aging and acceptance -- a major theme on Great Destroyer -- feel much more genuine, particularly "When I Go Deaf," another of the band's bittersweet and slightly disturbing songs like "In Metal." "Death of a Salesman," a short, stripped-down tale of what's left behind with age, is also affecting; though an album full of songs like these might be too much, they're wonderfully intimate glimpses. "Walk Into the Sea" provides a relatively uplifting -- if not happy -- ending to this thoughtful, graceful album, but at this point, it's difficult to expect anything less from Low. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi Performers: Gerry Beckley - Vocals (Background); Dave Fridmann - Keyboards; Hollis Mae - Vocals |

The Great Divide - $24.99 In this early musical western, Stephen Ghent (Ian Keith) is a businessman who, after the death of his partner, has been helping to support Ruth Jordan (Dorothy Mackaill), the late man's college-age daughter. While visiting a town near the Mexican border on business, Ghent is shocked to discover Ruth has become a jaded and hard-drinking sophisticate. Convinced she needs a healthy dose of the great outdoors and the simple life, Ghent kidnaps her disguised as a Mexican bandit and carries her away to an isolated cabin in the hills. As the masked cowboy attempts to teach Ruth about the virtues of the simple life, she finds herself falling in love with her captor, though she has a rival for his affections in hot-blooded servant girl Manuella (Myrna Loy). Fancy Baggage was released both as a talking picture and in a silent version, designed to play in small-town theaters (where westerns were perennially popular) which had yet to be wired for sound. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi |

About What You Know $9.58 Music journalists on deadline tend to make a lot of sloppy comparisons that don't really stand up to scrutiny, and as a result of geographical proximity, Little Man Tate have already gotten a sheaf of not entirely appropriate comparisons to their Sheffield compatriots and 2006 flavors of the month the Arctic Monkeys. There are some surface similarities, it's true -- Jon Windle's lyrics fixate on everyday concerns like obnoxious local bands, ex-girlfriends dating glam continental types, and on the brilliant single "House Party at Boothy's," the kind of weekend nights that are ended by the cops -- but musically, Little Man Tate are part of a long and proud musical tradition. Pitching out swaggering, guitar-based tunes with echoes of Blur, the Stone Roses, the Dentists, the Jam and all the way back to vintage Face to Face-era Kinks, Little Man Tate are the latest in a long and proud line of U.K. power pop acts, with little of the post-punk revival spikiness of the Arctic Monkeys and a solid knack for singalong choruses. Nearly every song on About What You Know sounds like a potential single; indeed, early versions of many were released as such prior to the band's signing to the V2 label. Other highlights include the jumpy "Three Day Rule," a song about calling a girl after a date that sounds like vintage late '70s power pop given only the slightest modern makeover. It's not at all surprising that the album cover for About What You Know pictures the band browsing in a vintage record store: Little Man Tate are the sort of band who sound as if they have consumed and synthesized whole chunks of pop history, turning this knowledge into bright and hummable three minute pop songs that vaguely recall any number of earlier bands while, crucially, not overtly aping any single group. As a result, About What You Know is the first great British pop album of 2007. ~ Stewart Mason, Rovi |

The Great Milenko $11.18 The Insane Clown Posse had a cult following around their hometown of Detroit in the mid-'90s, eventually winning a major-label contract with Jive. Their deal with Jive was short-lived, since Riddle Box didn't do so well. Still, they retained a devoted local following, which led to Hollywood Records signing the group in 1996. Hollywood spent a million dollars on the recording of ICP's label debut, The Great Milenko, which let the group work with name producers and guest artists like Slash. As a result, it was a better record than its predecessors, boasting a tougher sound and some actual hooks, without losing the juvenile vulgarity that pleased their following. So, everything should have worked out -- ICP had a commercial album that would have brought them a big audience, if the marketplace could overlook the fact that the duo was dressed like evil clowns. But things didn't work out as planned. On the day of the release of The Great Milenko, Hollywood pulled the album from the market, claiming that they were unaware of the offensive content of the record. That seems a little unlikely, since a company wouldn't really sink a million dollars into a project being "unaware" of what it was about. Still, the resulting furor meant that the Insane Clown Posse became national figures, and The Great Milenko gained a sort of hip status. It's one of the better albums in ICP's work. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi Performers: John Polito - Sequencing; Alice Cooper - Vocals; Deb Agnolli - Vocals; Kim Marrow - Vocals; Legs Diamond - Guitar, Vocals; Slash - Guitar; Steve Jones - Guitar |

Nothing Smooth About It $12.78 Nothing Smooth About It is the debut recording of the Mike Frost Project for the Blujazz record label. While they can hardly be considered a “cover band,” this label debut is a straight-ahead post-bop Hammond B-3 organ date that finds the Chicago-based group out to honor the traditions of jazz and its pioneers. The set opens with “Oleo,” a classic jazz standard that sets the pace of the CD with its burning bebop elements. Featuring trumpeter Steve Frost and saxophonist Mike Frost, the band turns in a brilliant performance with solos that definitely show their respect for Miles Davis and Sonny Rollins. “A Night in Tunisia,” with its tight arrangement, pays tribute to the great Dizzy Gillespie, and once again features the great bebop riffs of Steve Frost. “You Don’t Know What Love Is” is played as a lonely, lovelorn ballad that reflects the original vibe exuded by Teddy Edwards in the ’60s, while “Milestones,” one of the greatest modal compositions ever recorded by Miles Davis, gets an update with extended individual solos. Here, the song is introduced by organist Tom Vaitsas, who later takes an extensive solo that truly rocks. Mike Frost burns a cool fire on the melody line before guitarist Bill Boris takes over with his musical vision. His clean guitar lines provide the perfect undercurrent for this popular jazz standard. The ensemble is definitely in the pocket and brings a brand-new feeling to this song. The tribute continues with Lee Morgan’s big hit, “Sidewinder.” The set ends with the funky “Cantaloupe Island,” which highlights Vaitsas paying tribute to Herbie Hancock by pulling out all the soulful stops on his B-3. Nothing Smooth About It is a great CD and contains some of jazz’s biggest hits. ~ Paula Edelstein, Rovi Performers: Bill Boris – Guitar; Mike Frost – Sax (Tenor), Sax (Soprano); Tim Mulvenna – Percussion |

I Thought About You $15.18 I Thought About You, Christy Baron’s first album, demonstrated that a singer doesn’t need the massive chops of Dianne Reeves or Dee Dee Bridgewater in order to deliver a convincing jazz vocal date. Instead of going for hard bop or providing a lot of complex, horn-like scatting and vocalese, the Pittsburgh native favors a light and melodic approach that is best described as “acoustic jazz with R&B and pop elements.” One of the things that makes the CD successful is the fact that Baron doesn’t bite off more than she can chew — though soulful and capable of depth, someone with as sweet and youthful a voice as Baron probably wouldn’t have been very convincing on Billy Strayhorn’s world-weary “Lush Life.” But the singer shows how tasteful an interpreter of lyrics she can be on selections ranging from the standards “Night and Day” and “Body and Soul,” to no less than three Stevie Wonder pearls: “Summer Soft,” “Knocks Me off My Feet,” and “If It’s Magic.” And her performance of Noel Brasil’s “Columbus” is simply gorgeous. Thankfully, Baron realizes that great popular music didn’t die with Cole Porter, and her ability to find the jazz potential in songs by the Beatles (“Got to Get You into My Life”), Bill Withers (“Ain’t No Sunshine”) and Wonder is a major asset. Though not well-known, I Thought About You indicated that Baron was someone to keep an eye on. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi Performers: William Galison – Chromatic Harmonica; David Finck – Bass (Acoustic); Clifford Korman – Piano; George Young – Saxophone; Payton Crossley – Drums |

All About the Benjamins $10.38 Upon an initial glance, the track listing for the All About the Benjamins soundtrack isn’t too impressive. There aren’t many big names here, and the big names that are here offer previously released songs: B.G.’s “Bling Bling,” the O’Jays’ “For the Love of Money,” and Puff Daddy’s “It’s All About the Benjamins.” Furthermore, considering Ice Cube stars in this film, you’d think he’d contribute a song, but there isn’t even a previously released song by him here. However, if you give this soundtrack a listen, you’ll discover that there’s actually quite a few quality songs here. First of all, the aforementioned previously released songs are undeniably great and certainly fit the film’s theme. Furthermore, the Puff Daddy track appears here in a remixed version featuring a new verse by the Notorious B.I.G. and a few other new — and surprisingly welcome — modifications. Second of all, the soundtrack’s lead-off track, Trina’s “Told Y’All,” very well may be the album’s highlight, one of the best tracks to come out of the Florida-based Trick Daddy/Trina camp, on a par with “Da Baddest Bitch,” “Nann Nigga,” and “Take It to da House.” Other songs by Petey Pablo and Mystic are also worth checking out. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi Performers: Mikey Dan – Vocals |

The Great Awakening $9.32 Leeland Mooring is nothing if not ambitious on the fourth album by the band that bears his Christian name, and which also features several of his siblings. Despite the title, the effort is not a concept album about the religious revival of the 18th century or its successors, although in the lead-off title song Mooring addresses the idea of the spread of faith from one person to another. Rather, the great awakening the singer/songwriter has in mind is, more simply, the realization of faith itself. For the most part, the songs fall into the praise & worship category, with simple, often clichéd lyrics directed to the Christian God and describing the deity’s virtues. What lifts the album out of the generic, however, is the music and Mooring’s performance of it. He seems to have spent a lot of time listening to and studying inspiring rock performers such as Van Morrison, Bruce Springsteen, and U2, and he fills the band’s arrangements with their anthem-like effects. The tempos tend to be slow or moderate, and the music, while simple in structure, is always intensifying. The guitars ring and chime (sometimes using the kind of sequencing favored by the Edge), and pianos and organs fill in the mid-range sound à la the E Street Band, with added echo and even strings. Over that, Mooring sings in his rich, if slightly reedy tenor. Like Morrison, he is not afraid to repeat the same phrase or chorus; if it’s worth singing once, a dozen times is even better. And he sounds impassioned, genuinely in awe of his Savior. It’s music of broad scope and sweep, meant to get big crowds singing along. On “While We Sing,” Mooring changes the mood by recognizing the existence of poverty: “While we sing,” he notes, “the hungry roam the streets.” It’s a late recognition of the responsibility of Christians not just to worship God, but to do good works. But Mooring and his friends and family will have to fit that around their musical ministry. If he recalls Springsteen in any manner, it’s in his desire to perform seemingly forever. “I will sing unending songs,” he proclaims at the close of the disc, and it’s clear he means it. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: Todd Mooring – Hammond B3; Claire Indie – Strings, Cello; Paul Moak – Guitar (Tenor), Hammond B3, Sampling, Pedal Steel, Guitar (Acoustic), Guitar (Electric), Vocals; Abby Wood – Vocals; Ashley Goins – Vocals; Ben Brown – Vocals; Brady Toops – Vocals; |

The Great Match - $14.99 Filmmaker Gerardo Olivares raises crucial questions concerning globalization and the information age with this lighthearted tale of three groups inhabiting isolated corners of the globe, yet all sharing the common goal of watching the 2002 World Cup finals no matter how far they must travel to do so. Germany and Brazil are about to go toe-to-toe in the biggest game on the planet, and despite the fact that they’re hundreds of miles from the nearest television, these three soccer-loving groups are determined to witness every breathtaking goal. For a family of Mongolian nomads, this means traversing some of the most treacherous terrain on the planet. Of course the Tuaregs of Sahara don’t have it much easier, and the Amazon Indians who long to root on their team will have navigate the so-called “Green Inferno” just to reach the nearest television. While most folks take instant access to information for granted, these three groups will travel hundreds of miles just to experience but a precious few hours of football-induced bliss. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi |

Much Ado About Something - $19.99 Veteran documentary filmmaker Michael Rubbo dives into the age-old debate over who authored William Shakespeare’s plays with this engaging, passionately argued work. In his attempts to get to the bottom of the literary world’s worship of Shakespeare — “Bardolatry” as the filmmaker calls it — Rubbo talks to English eccentrics and snooty Americans in London, Seattle, Venice, and even “Canada of all places,” hoping to answer one question: Who really wrote Shakespeare’s plays? Rubbo asserts that Christopher Marlowe is the prime suspect. A rouge, freethinker, and atheist, Marlowe was also the most influential playwright of his day until his murder in 1593. But was he really killed? As scholar Calvin Hoffman argues in this film, Marlowe could have faked his death and fled to Italy to write some of the Western world’s great works. At the same time, Rubbo argues Shakespeare’s lack of an education — he reportedly did not own a single book — makes it unlikely that he penned such learned works as Titus Andronicus and The Tempest. This film was screened at the 2001 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi |

25 Original Vocal Groups Sing About "The Great Ladies of Doo Wop" $11.98 Doo wop groups spend most of their time singing about the wonders of one special girl (that is, when they are not lamenting the loss of one special girl), so Collectables Records’ idea of compiling 25 doo wop songs named after 25 girls and sung by 25 different acts is a clever one. Beyond the unifying concept, however, 25 Original Vocal Groups Sing About “The Great Ladies of Doo Wop” is just a sampler that will please fans of the style without expanding its appeal. Of the 25 tracks, only one, the Charts’ “Deserie,” was ever anything like a countrywide hit, and only a few of the groups represented — the Paragons, the Crests, the Three Friends — ever had any national profile. (The Temptations heard here are not the ones who recorded for Motown.) The groups sing in familiar ways. For example, Little Bobby Rivera & the Hemlocks sound like Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers on “Cora Lee.” The most excited of the singers is the leader of Jackie & the Starlites, who gets positively apoplectic over “Valerie.” But all of these girls seem worthy of devotion, at least to the harmonious males who sing their praises here. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi |

The Truth About Us $10.38 Having recorded one album with the Haynes Boys on Slab and a solo album in 1998 (Special 20) on his own Heathen label, singer/songwriter Tim Easton comes of age here with a mature, affecting, and charmingly eclectic solo turn for the more established (but still scrappy) New West label. It’s a great achievement. His sound draws deeply on rootsy Americana, with acoustic slide guitar and twangy pedal steel emerging occasionally from the background and upright bass holding things down below. The presence of several members of Wilco contributes to the generally rootsy feel, too. But there are anomalies that keep the proceedings from sounding too traditional: the occasional Mellotron, for instance, or the weird gurgling synthesizer that opens “Soup Can Telephone Conversation,” or the Casiotone beatbox that accompanies the acoustic guitar and pedal steel on “I Would Have Married You.” Easton’s voice is pleasantly ragged, and his lyrical sentiments are soft-hearted without being soft-headed. The songs grow on you; by the fourth time through this album, you’ll be anxiously awaiting the next one. ~ Rick Anderson, Rovi Performers: Ted Hutt – Loops |

Real Alexander the Great – Dolby $5.99 Alexander the Great is one of history’s most fabled men — his life and times have been the subject of songs, stories, and motion pictures — but what is the truth behind his legend? The Real Alexander the Great is a documentary produced in association with National Geographic which sorts out the facts about this remarkable leader. Rising from Macedonia to defeat the Persian Empire and take control of India, Alexander’s military strategy and fighting techniques are studied and recreated through the use of computer technology, while the filmmakers also examine his powerful personality, his ego, and persistent questions about his sexual orientation. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi |

Sorry About Tomorrow [Bonus Track] $31.19 Solid songwriting that doesn’t fall into the usual three-chord power pop/punk trappings and emotional lyrical output that manages to avoid seeming trite mark Sorry About Tomorrow as one to keep an eye and ear on. Tracks such as “Knees” offer dynamic moodiness unheard of in most of the band’s peers, and even when they do get more traditional, it’s led with such a great riff, like on “Radiation Suit,” or overwhelming catchiness, as on “Now or Never,” so as not to detract from enjoyment. Comparisons to Weezer are a little unfounded this time out, however; Hot Rod Circuit may be geeks, but that doesn’t make disc number three geek rock. [A Japanese version added a bonus track.] ~ Brian O’Neill, Rovi |

Songs About Girls [LP] [PA] $15.98 Will.i.am’s success as a producer for the likes of John Legend, Fergie, and Macy Gray, among others, rivaled the enormous popularity of his own group, Black Eyed Peas. SONGS ABOUT GIRLS is the producer/rapper’s major-label solo debut, and while critics might turn their noses up at will.i.am’s commercially tailored pop-rap, there is no denying the man’s production skills. Like Kanye West, another rap artist whose true genius lies in track-making, will.i.am is no great shakes on the mic. Fortunately, the rapping isn’t foregrounded here; instead it tastefully fills space between bouts of dazzling production work.The opening track, co-written with Jeff Lynne, takes a sample from ELO’s “It’s Over” to build an immediately infectious jam that weighs in as one of the most bumping break-up songs of 2007. The lead-off single “I Got It From My Mama” may have nabbed attention for its call-and-response segments and insistent hook, but it’s outpaced by production gems like “Get Your Money” and “The Donque Song,” which features a cameo by Snoop Dogg. Fans of Black Eyed Peas and pop-rap in general shouldn’t miss SONGS ABOUT GIRLS, but neither will anyone invested in the art of hip-hop production. |

The Great Snowman 1959-1963 $33.59 The Great Snowman 1959-1963 is the first international release from Canetoad Records, Australia’s premier oldies label. The generous 34-track anthology compiles most, if not all, of the recordings Bob Luman made for Warner Bros. in his early days as a rocker. His earliest rock recordings, for the Imperial and Capitol labels, are not included. The last track on the collection, “I Like Your Kind of Love,” is a duet with Sue Thompson made for the Hickory label in 1963. Luman’s rock & roll is like that of Billy “Crash” Craddock or Johnny Burnette, obviously influenced by Elvis Presley but not entirely derivative. Luman expressed great admiration for Johnny Cash and the imitative “My Baby Walks All Over Me” foreshadows the tributes to Cash he would record in the ’70s. Luman went on to greater fame as a country singer, and The Great Snowman traces his evolution as the frequency of country cover songs increases and the character of his music drifts toward a Don Gibson-style rock-inflected country sound. Luman’s only major hit from this period, “Let’s Think About Living,” is included, along with a wealth of obscurities. The Great Snowman 1959-1963 is not about compiling hits — it pays tribute to Luman’s reputation among collectors and their enduring interest in his rock & roll. ~ Greg Adams, Rovi |
